Wealth
Despite high poverty rates, a report for the national equality panel found that British Pakistani households have an estimated median total wealth of £97,000, placing them in third place out of the major ethnic groups in the UK.[138] The statistics show the following:
Ethnic group Median total wealth
White British £221,000
Indian £204,000
Pakistani £97,000
Black Caribbean £76,000
Other Asian £50,000
Black African £21,000
Bangladeshi £15,000
Poverty
Statistics from the 2001 census show that Pakistani communities in England, particularly in the North and the Midlands, are severely affected by poverty, unemployment and social exclusion, and that they are much less likely to be employed in managerial and professional occupations.[19][33] Conversely, there were around 100 British Pakistani millionaires in 2001, representing a variety of industries.[136][137] Statistics compiled by the Department for Education and Skills show that almost 40 per cent of Pakistani students in secondary schools are eligible for free school meals, compared to a national average of 15 per cent.[19] A study by Joseph Rowntree Foundation in 2007 found that Pakistani Britons have the second highest relative poverty rates in Britain, ahead only of Bangladeshis.[12] Their study found the following:
Ethnic group Percentage in poverty
Bangladeshi 65%
Pakistani 55%
Black African 45%
Black Caribbean 30%
Indian 25%
White Other 25%
White British 20%

I know. Hey how about all you guys meet me in Memphis and have some quality BBQ-Memphis style with me, my treat.
Of course you can get fish and chips anywhere and everywhere in America, was just trying to give your otherwise culinary bankrupt country some cred for being famous for 'fish and chips'. Even a compliment for Britain became a touchy subject for you....what more can be said about the insecurities of British Pakistani PPers. The evidence is there for everyone to see.
